Financial Hell Is About to Break Loose in #American #Schools
Trump’s new #school funding, part of #OneBigBeautifulBill Act, will kick in January 2027. It’s going to create a financial tsunami for #publicschools. There’s no mystery to it: We already know what will happen, because the scheme is not new at all. It brings us back to the bad old days, to the failed and inadequate divided school budgets from before the Civil War, that modern #publicschool were designed to fix.

Source: PBS News Hour

The Trump administration this week quietly released an update to a major survey on civil rights in schools that removed all data related to nonbinary students or bullying based on gender identity. The numbers come from the Education Department's Civil Rights Data Collection, a survey of nearly every public school in the nation. The release this week covers the 2023-2024, when the survey included "nonbinary" as a gender category alongside male...

The case would be one of the most significant dealing with #religion in #PublicSchools since an ideologically divided #SCOTUS ruled in 2022 that a former public high school football coach’s on-field prayers were protected under the #FirstAmendment’s right to #FreeSpeech.
In the current case, the [ultra-conservative] US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit in New Orleans upheld the #Texas #law on a 9-8 vote, overturning a lower-court ruling that found the measure #unconstitutional.

#CivilLiberties groups Monday asked #SCOTUS to hear their challenge of a #Texas #law requiring that all #PublicSchools’ classrooms display the #TenCommandments, potentially setting up a landmark clash over the #SeparationOfChurchAndState.

Seventy years of School of the Air celebrated in family recipe cookbook
By Em Jensen

Coming together to share a meal looks a little different for those living on remote stations across outback NSW, where even visiting the neighbours can involve hours of travel.

I was a public school teacher for thirty years, and although I loved the children dearly, I would never enter such a homophobic profession the second time.

Wave Goodbye to the Last Normal Year for #AmericanSchools

Thanks to Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill,” the ’26–’27 school year will look wildly different.

By Adam Laats, June 01, 2026

"As schools send children home for the summer, we need to recognize a frightening fact: This could be the last year of public schooling the way we’ve known it. Donald Trump’s new school funding scheme, pushed through as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will kick in during the middle of the next school year, in January 2027. It’s going to create a financial tsunami for public schools. The real tragedy is that there’s no mystery to it: We already know what will happen, because the scheme is not really new at all. It brings us back to the bad old days, to the failed and inadequate divided school budgets from before the Civil War. Trump’s plan brings back the devasting problem that our modern public school systems were designed to fix."

In spite of bigoted colleagues, I've loved all my teaching experiences--bible school, public school, and theater education. I hope someday gay people are openly accepted in this profession.

Sometime soon - I'd like to openly discuss where the #safety line is drawn for other students, staff & educational volunteers when kid on kid violence happens & one of the kids is #ASD #SpecialNeeds. I haven't been able to figure this out. How can we keep kids like this in schools because we need to find ways to do that. Kicking them out doesn't help society, in the long run.

I support trying our best to help misunderstood ASD kids & helping them get more supports at younger ages. Many don't get enough supports.
I have tolerated a lot of physical abuses (being spat on, punched, kicked, getting scratched & hair pulled, etc.) because many #descalation methods didn't work on the job. I worked in an elementary school in North Saanich as a specialized teacher's assistant & all the students I worked with were ASD on varying levels.

We had 2 quiet therapy rooms. Those were the only safe sanctuaries for the ASD kids who felt overloaded & needed to be away from everyone else. Often, we had multiple kids having meltdowns & there wasn't any other sanctuary spots for them within the small school. I felt so helpless during those days but pretended everything was A-OK. I took kids out to the yard & to the gardens to try & distract them. Sometimes that worked. Other times, I had to deal with multiple screaming kids, having mass meltdowns at the same time - when we were constantly understaffed. That was a very difficult job. I was severely underpaid for it.

ASD kids needed more support staff in schools & they still do. They all deserve that investment from our government. They are all worth the investment.

Why TF is a #homeschooling advocate who regularly calls for the death of Democratic presidents being considered for the job of #school superintendent for the state of #NorthCarolina? This is like making #RFKjr the head of the #CDC. Well, add NC to the list of states that are dead to me.
